Saxon Hoard (27/03/10)

Great to see the local support and enthusiasm for this significant find. Both the number of visitors, and the value of donations, clearly indicate that we have a real passion for our heritage including the Saxon Hoard .

Rita McClean and her team at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery (BMAG) have done a great job, working with other local museums to ensure that there was a strong campaign and a real sense of local pride.

We need more of this pride in both our business and private lives. We live in a fantastic city located in superb surroundings and a lot of the time we fail to realise how lucky we are. Secondly we totally fail to communicate that message to the wider world so they will beat a path to our door as they did in the days of Matthew Boulton.

Let's try to learn from this example and look for other business related stories that help to put Birmingham and the West Midlands on the global map.
